A tattooed biker who planted a pipe bomb under the van of a rival’s father’s amid a motorcycle gang feud has been jailed.
Daniel Laponder targeted David Rollo’s vehicle outside his home in Lennoxtown, Dunbartonshire, on June 8.
Mr Rollo’s son is a member of the Blue Angels Motorcycle Club – stated to be the oldest ‘outlaw’ biker club in Europe.
Ground worker Laponder, 43, is an ex-member who went on to form his own Mad Dogs Motorcycle Club after he left.
The High Court in Glasgow heard the two clubs are engaged in a feud with each other.
Laponder was later caught with a shotgun which he kept on his barge where he lived in Kirkintilloch.
He pleaded guilty in September to wilful fire raising and firearm possession.
